The Gallows

The story is about a high school production of The Gallows, which was done 23 years ago and one of the actors by the name of Charlie Grimille was accidentally hanged and killed during a live presentation of the play in front of an audience and his parents and friends witness the death of him on stage in 1993.

Twenty years later, on October 28, 2013, the school attempts to put on a new performance of “The Gallows”. Reese Houser is excited, as this gives him a chance to grow closer to his crush Pfeifer Ross. His friend Ryan Shoos is dismissive of the play, and comes up with the idea to vandalize the set. Reese is reluctant to take part, but agrees when Ryan promises that he’ll be able to console Pfeifer afterwards, giving them a chance to kiss. Later that night Reese, Ryan, and Ryan’s girlfriend Cassidy Spilker sneak into the school, only to run in to Pfeifer, who saw Reese’s car. Knowing they cannot vandalize the sets with Pfeifer there, the group tries to leave but finds that they have been locked inside and there is no cell phone reception. Disturbed, Cassidy admits the trio’s real reason for being in the school, which angers Pfeifer. And creepy stuff happens in the dark of the school.
